Correctional Services

The Correctional Services division of the Department of Justice is responsible for the administration and operation of community and custody-based programs and services for adult offenders and young persons.

Within the Correctional Services core business area there are two programs: community corrections & correctional facilities. Each of these program areas is broken down into closely related activities that have a specific impact on the program’s target group.

The Correctional Services Division is also responsible for the management of the Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Program delivered with a network of eight community justice agencies and one tribal organization.
